For Itinerant Teachers

All of my students are currently working on a this two problem mini-project. It is sometimes referred to as the Quarters and Nickels Problem or the Cows and Chickens Problem. Students have the handouts. Additional copies are above.

We have dedicated a significant portion of class time to this already and I have chosen to move forward in class. I have, however, made the deadline for this assignment to be Monday April 30, at 3:00pm. This should give kids time to finish the assignment in itinerant if they need to do so.

• The students need to do both of their problems by hand (An example of the quarters and nickels problem is in video below.)
• They also need to graph both of their solutions on the Ti83 Emulator. This is done on the computer. (There are video Instructions below for how to download it onto any school computer as well as an example of how to do the problem.)
• When they do the graphing calculator portion, it will involve pasting their results to a word document and either emailing it to me at Tom_Vizza@sdst.org saving it to the G Drive Folder for our class.
